Welcome

Mathematics is an amazing and beautiful intellectual creation, one
of the human race's deepest endeavors. The world around us, and the
future world we are creating, is woven through with mathematics—from
the symmetry groups of Navajo weavings, to the airflow around a
flapping bird’s wing, to the security of global computer
networks. Topology, geometry, prime numbers, probability. Mathematics
is full of unsolved problems and mind-bending concepts and the Mathematics
Department at Dartmouth is a place to learn about and investigate
these ideas.

In honor of her late husband, insurance executive and philanthropist John J. (Jack) Byrne Jr.,
Dorothy Byrne of Etna, N.H., has committed $20 million to help Dartmouth attract and support
the finest math students and professors.

All Dartmouth applicants will be considered for this special scholarship.
